This year I am delighted to announce our partnership with Dropout UK who organise l ive showcase events to preview upcoming UK talent from various backgrounds of music. The first Dropout UK event is on Thursday 13 February where you can see a variety of music from Indie to Pop. If you are celebrating Valentine’s Day this year we have created an intimate evening for you and your partner. Renato D’Aiello will be playing a number of Stevie Wonder’s greatest hits, it’s all love and

promises to be a fun evening. We also spent some time with Renato talking about his love for London and how he became a resident singer here at Primo. You can read all about his musical journey on page 17. In the mean time, enjoy the last of the winter season. À bientôt!

Executive Host and Artistic Director Bar, Lounge and ICHI Sushi ManagerDidier Agueh Alberto Sanna

This winter I have enjoyed the challenge of creating tasty, unique mocktails as everybody is thinking about their health in the first quarter of the year, for me I still enjoy a strong sour cocktail but for everyone on a detox here is a little tip: take all the ingredients of a ‘bloody mary’ without the alcohol and mix together with secret (Indian) spices and a twist of lime. Of course you’ll have to visit us and I’ll tell you the secret recipe. It’s been very popular this month.

Other than our Valentine’s evening

with the talented Renato performing Stevie Wonder, we will also be celebrating the Cherry Blossom festival that occurs in Japan to officially launch our Sushi Afternoon Tea, so far it has received great reviews from the press including Fabulous magazine and The Handbook. Chef Okamoto has put together a unique selection of sushi, cakes and savoury notes that compliment with our Camellia tea selection or with Sake, depending on how you feel. We hope to see you soon. Ciao
